| Sometimes, recipes don’t quite fit what you need, do they? I spent many years in a household of growing sons (who ate a LOT, especially during growth spurts). I canned a lot of larger batches and quart jars. But these days, it’s usually just my husband and I eating meals, so I preserve smaller amounts instead. Perhaps you’re in the same boat? Maybe you’re also an empty nester, living alone, or living with just one or two other people. Well, did you know that you can scale down larger canning recipes while keeping them safe? Learn how to scale down recipes for small batch canning here. Of course, sometimes I get messages from folks preserving food for larger quantities too. 😀 For example, what happens if you want to make apple butter in quart jars instead?
